Dexter Wins Season Hockey Opener vs. Milford, 9-1

The Dexter Dreadnaughts opened their 2012-13 hockey season on Wednesday with a convincing 9-1 victory over the visiting Milford Mavericks.

Milford opened the scoring with a power play goal at 7:09 of the first period. Dexter quickly answered with three goals in a 1:58 span. Assistant Captain, Patrick Gronvall lit the lamp for Dexter's first goal this season with assists from Assistant Captains, Ben Grover and Blake Miller. Junior forward, Tristin Rojeck followed with a goal just 50 seconds later again assisted by Grover. Then 1:08 seconds later, defenseman Stavros Vorias scored with assists from Gronvall and Miller.

Dexter took firm control of the game with 4 more goals in the the last 6 minutes of the first from Grover, Gronvall, Freddy Burke, and Freshman, Cameron Milne. The very vocal "Dread Zone" student cheering section were able to relax from there.

For the game, Blake Miller led Dexter with 4 points (1 goal and 3 assists). Sophomore Zach Richards notched his first high school victory in goal for the Dreads.

Dexter next plays host in the "Dreads Invitational" this Friday and Saturday with a field consisting of Jenison, Ann Arbor Gabriel Richard, and Gibralter Varsity Hockey squads.
